Generally speaking, yes. States where funding has kept up over the years have lower tuitions. Probably too late now though, even if funding were increased it likely wouldn't affect in-state tuition very much now; tough to bring prices down after they've gone up.

You're both wrong, but wrong in the way that society wants you to be wrong. The trades are hiring faster than ever and often you can make more than someone with a graduate degree within a few years.

Society really wants everyone to believe they need a PhD, but in reality we need plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc.

Everyone I know in the trades has a lucrative career. The majority of people I know with graduate degrees struggle to make a decent living and usually make less than the tradesmen.

Hell, I have a bachelors in a science field and got a well paying job out of college and now make pretty close to $100k 7 years later. My sister had to give up on her PhD because it was too expensive and now can’t find a decent paying job with her masters.

In the end it’s much more about what you do than the letters after your name.

Coming from NC, and having driven all over the US, Vermont's lack of road markings threw me for a loop when I first moved here. Just plain awful. I didn't know it was because of the paint used - I thought Vermont just half-assed it because snow covers the road markings anyways.

Semi-broke myself of the habit of even looking for road markings and now I just look for the white road signs on the right side of the road that pop up 30 to 60 ft before lane markings would be helpful. Totally unnatural to look there because you're just guessing if there'll be lane shifts up ahead, but it's 100% more effective than trying to see faded road paint.
